This may be exactly what I need. I've been trying to get a campaign moving since January; I forgot how much work goes into it.

But when it comes to painting, the truth is I'm nervous about painting again. I was never a great painter to begin with, and my vision isn't what it once was, and I'm out of practice. I keep putting it off and putting it off, and I need something to kick me into gear- this very much could be it, because the campaign is almost ready to launch. So here's what I have that needs painting:

Penitent Legion/ Ministorum:

4 Death Cult Assassins

3 Crusaders

Mistress

Repentia conversion

Mistress [Wargames Exclusive]

5 Sealed Repentia [Wargames Exclusive]

7 Pin-up Repentia [Wargames Exclusive]

3 Penitent Rhinos [Conversions]

Sisters of Battle:

Celestine and Geminae

Verydian

Cannoness with Progenum [Wargames Exclusive]

3 Dominions

4 Retributors

10-15 battle sisters

Hospitaller Inerogatrix [Conversion]

Exorcist

Immolator

Inquisition:

Female Inquisitor

Female Cullexus [Wargames Exclusive]

And when the codex drops, that list will grow. The goal is to diminish this list as much as possible, before the release so that I don't get overwhelmed when it comes.

Looks like an impressive stash! And I'm a big fan of War-games Exclusive!

OK, don't be nervous and don't be intimidated by the, quite large, backlog. Start small, remember you have 5 vows. You can spend the first two to get gradually back into painting with very manageable tasks - like a single mini vow (say the Mistress) or a small squad... But also be mindful to the fact that all units pledged must be game-legal according to 8th edition rules.

So for example, 3 Dominions is not legal as minimum legal size for them is 5 (4 Dominions and 1 Dominion Superior). Same applies to the 4 Retributors while Repentia squads come at a minimum of 3 and can be expanded to a maximum of 6... So it might take some tweaking to align everything to 8th Edition requirements.

The (interim) Codex for the Sisters can be found in the Chapter Approved 2018 publication. If you don't have access to it, I'll be happy to assist - just PM me and we'll get it from there!
